Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
We're looking for a Software Engineer to design and build a next-generation reliability platform for Affirm's production systems. You'll blend traditional distributed systems engineering with AI-assisted development to give teams a single place to understand, debug, and improve the health of their services.
This is a highly creative, hands-on role for someone who loves "vibe coding" — rapidly iterating, shipping, and refining with strong intuition— while still holding a very high bar for reliability, quality, and maintainability.
What you will do
Build a centralized reliability command center that gives teams a unified view of system health, risk, and reliability across services and environments.
Create AI agents that can assist with incident triage, root-cause exploration, log/trace summarization, and recommended next actions.
Create delightful developer-facing features and APIs that help engineers explore data, debug issues, and make better decisions.
Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Copilot-like tools) as leverage to prototype, refactor, and ship high-quality code quickly.
Own projects end-to-end: requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, rollout, and iteration based on feedback.
Collaborate closely with partner teams (product, infra, data, SRE) to understand pain points and translate them into simple, powerful solutions.
What we look for
- This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor's degree in a related field
-
1.5+ years of experience as a software engineer
Strong proficiency in Python, with experience architecting data-intensive applications and robust APIs
Problem-solving and product sense: you care about the "what" and the "why," not just the "how." You are capable of taking ambiguous requirements and rapidly iterating towards a working solution
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development, such as Cursor, Claude, or similar tools, and enthusiasm for using them to build and ship features faster.
Practical use of LLMs or AI frameworks to enhance automation and guidance with guardrails and citations

Tips for Your Remote Infrastructure Platform Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to platform maturity
Hiring teams distinguish between engineers who built platforms from scratch and those who scaled existing ones. Specify where you inherited infrastructure versus greenfielded it, and what scale you reached in terms of clusters, services, or developer adoption.
Highlight IDP metrics recruiters recognize
Internal developer platform work is hard to quantify on a resume. Frame your contributions around developer experience outcomes: deployment frequency improvements, onboarding time reduction, or self-service adoption rates across engineering teams you supported.
Filter openings by cloud provider depth
Job listings vary widely between roles that want multi-cloud architects and those deeply tied to a single provider. Match your strongest certifications, whether AWS, GCP, or Azure, to listings that weight that provider to avoid wasted applications.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists infrastructure platform engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a live infrastructure demo for interviews
Technical screens for this role often include a whiteboard or live Terraform and Kubernetes exercise. Have a public repository showing a working platform prototype, not just configuration snippets, so you can walk interviewers through real decisions.
Negotiate scope before accepting compensation
Platform engineering offers vary significantly in autonomy. Before finalizing any offer, confirm whether you own toolchain decisions or implement a predetermined stack, and whether the role has a seat in architecture reviews. Scope directly affects your career trajectory.
Remote Infrastructure Platform Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote infrastructure platform engineer job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote infrastructure platform engineer employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.
Which companies hire remote infrastructure platform engineers?
Companies hiring remote infrastructure platform engineers include CVS Health, Speechify, and IT Labs, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote infrastructure platform engineer roles.
Can you get a remote infrastructure platform engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote infrastructure platform engineer openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
Do you need a degree for remote infrastructure platform engineer jobs?
Not always. Many employers hire remote infrastructure platform engineers on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote infrastructure platform engineer roles.
Which industries hire the most remote infrastructure platform engineers?
Remote infrastructure platform engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Insurance, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors run distributed teams and hire infrastructure platform engineers remotely most consistently.
